Cellular phone with special GPS functions
Abstract
Mobile cellular phone with integrated positioning system and archiving in this way advanced functions based on its location and navigation capabilities. Based on its location and internal consumption statistics can notify the user if the expected battery-level won't be enough for the next period of time outside such location. Based on its location can automatically send predefined or programmed messages (SMS) to defined users. In its internal call log register keeps also the location where the call has been received or done, and can display this back to the user on request. Can encode navigation instructions to the user when walking through mechanic vibration signals.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A mobile phone with integrated location sensor, an internal battery and an external battery charger, the mobile phone being used outside the battery charger region for longer periods of time (“standalone-period”), recording on an internal register common battery consumptions during such “standalone-period” periods and trigger special events when inside/close to the battery charger location/region and next calculated/expected “standalone-period” period will be low (“level-insufficient”).
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the location system is based on the GPS and/or GALILEO technology.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the special event triggered about “level-insufficient” for next “standalone-period” is acoustic, visual and/or a combination of both.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the special event triggered about “level-insufficient” for next “standalone-period” is shown at specific, user configurable, times and/or events.
5 . A mobile phone with integrated location sensor that can be configured to send automatically messages when reaching or crossing a specific location/region.
6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the message protocol is SMS (Short Message Service).
7 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the message protocol is based on WiFi.
8 . The method of claim 5 , wherein together with the location also the provenience and direction is considered before the message is sent.
9 . The method of claim 5 , wherein together with the location also the speed is considered before the message is sent.
10 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the message is a user-defined text.
11 . The method of claim 5 , wherein a confirmation by the user is required before the message is sent.
12 . A mobile phone with integrated location sensor which records in its internal call-register the location where the a phone call has been done or received.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the saved location is the building name, street name, city name, region name.
14 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the saved location is displayed together with other call information as date/time of call, person calling and similar.
15 . A mobile phone with integrated navigation system which encodes navigation instructions through mechanic vibration signals.
16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein such encoding method is automatically activated when the phone is close to the user ear.
17 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the vibration signals vary in rhythm.
18 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the vibration signals vary in frequency.
19 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the vibration signals vary in intensity.
20 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the encoded instruction is a “turn left” message.
21 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the encoded instruction is a “turn right” message.
22 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the encoded instruction is a “stop” message.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
